Treat the first prompt as a draft; evaluate against criteria and refine systematically.
Using a prompt once, getting poor results, and abandoning the use case.
Run prompt → evaluate (accuracy, format, tone) → note "output too long" → add "Maximum 200 words" → re-run. Document the final prompt for next time.
After each run, ask: - Accuracy: Is it correct and relevant? - Format: Does it match the requested structure? - Tone: Right for the audience? - Completeness: Anything missing? Adjust one element and re-test.
